Following on the resounding success of the Nouvelle Architecture Chinoise edition in 2010, the Young Arab Architects in 2012 and Young Architects in Africa in 2014, Architecture-Studio has organized a competition this year for
Young Architects in Latin America as a vehicle for highlighting the creativity of architecture in Latin America and to guide the up and coming generation of architects in their efforts to gain international recognition.
For this occasion, the CA’ASI is opening its doors to young architects with a singular view on the theme of Freespace for the 2018 edition.
